INFLUENCE OF MICROWAVE IRRADIATION ON SOME VITALITY INDICES AND ELECTROCONDUCTIVITY OF ORNAMENTAL PERENNIAL CROPS

Abstract

The effect of microwave irradiation with a wavelength of 12 cm on the germinating energy and germination of seeds of Gleditschia triacanthos L., Caragana arborescens, Laburnum anagiroides Med., Robinia pseudoacacia L. has been studied. The specific electroconductivity of leaf extracts has been measured and its dependence on the microwave radiation power has been determined.
